[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8790252, member: 614752"] I've rebuilt a couple of these myself with 4 layer copper as I recall. Really no telling how much performance will vary with a new coil and softparts but on something with a motor that big it should perform well enough so long as you fill the gap with coil, have enough space that it won't rub, and add stiff enough suspension that you won't break it mechanically with whatever power you're trying to run. I definitely wouldn't be trying to save almost 20 year old softparts, they don't owe you anything at this point and I'd guess the tinsels or surround will be weak links going forward. As you say that plus all new softparts is probably going to do you better than anything you could get elsewhere for the cost of the soft parts. If you're going through all the trouble you may as well try to buff up that motor to a nice shine either. Obviously super fine sandpaper as needed then rubbing compound and a wool buffing wheel then move on to hand rubbing to finish it'll probably polish up nice. [/QUOTE]
